Dwarf Plum Powdery Mildew and Apricot Bacterial Spot

New dwarf plum shows white powder on leaf undersides with greenflies; new dwarf apricot has curling leaves with brown spots turning to holes on new shoots (30% affected).

Plum Diagnosis

White powder likely powdery mildew. Need clear photo for confirmation. Check if cosmetic or causing leaf drop.

Apricot Diagnosis

Brown spots becoming holes on new shoots suggests bacterial spot. Keep foliage dry (bacteria spread via splash). Copper fungicide may help. Soil test for nutrient imbalances.

Management

Resend clear plum photo. For apricot: avoid overhead watering, consider copper spray, get soil test.
